One week later...
"I'm sorry, but Kallus shouldn't be going on this mission!" Zeb argued.
"But he and you are the best fighters we have and we can't let his broken arm get in the way of that! It's properly bandaged, waterproof, and he can still handle a blaster just fine in his good arm, I mean, his good arm is his dominant hand!" Mon Mothma said.
"What about hand to hand combat?" Zeb asked.
"I'm going on this mission with you Zeb! No arguments!" I said, walking from the command center.
***
"Karrabast! That didn't go as planned!" Zeb said as we got to our feet after a cave in here on Hoth.
"You can say that again!" I said, wiping the dirt from my coat.
"Your hair's a mess, I mean, completely encrusted in goop!" He said, smirking.
"And whose fault is that, huh?" I asked, placing my hands on my hips and looking at him with knowing look.
"You are so not blaming me!" He said.
"You shot a creature just as the cave was coming down and that thing's bile coated me! I really need to get clean before heading back to base and reporting this!" I said, looking over myself.
"Well, I do smell water not far from here!" He said.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah, and smells fresh and clean too!" He said, grabbing my wrist and dragged me further into the cavern.
***
"Oh! That smells amazing!" I said when the scent hit my nose.
"I told you!" Zeb said, smirking.
"Shut up and turn around!" I said, removing my coat.
"Why? I'm covered too, and it's easier to clean up our clothes, and ourselves, at the same time!" He said.
"Excuse me!" I said as he started stripping.
"You really want us to take turns cleaning our clothes and having them dry while cleaning ourselves as well?" He asked.
"I never thought about it that way!" I said, stripping myself.
***
"This is nice!" I said, closing my eyes and relaxing in the warm water.
"Told you!" Zeb said from across the large pool.
"You never said anything of the sort about it being so relaxing!" I said, smirking.
"I'm pretty sure I did when we were cleaning our clothes!" He said, leaning against the wall of the pool right next to me and smirking.
"Enough smirking!" I said, opening my eyes and looking at him. He leaned his back into the wall and started smiling at me.
"You ok? You're arm looks like it got hit back there in the collapsing cave walls!" He said, lifting my casted arm to inspect it for damages.
"It was hit, and honestly, my arm's been throbbing ever since!" I said, blushing a deep red from being this close to the man I fawned over, with both of us being completely naked and him being so close to me.
"Why didn't you say something earlier?" He asked, grabbing a Med Kit from his belt nearby.
"I'm fine Zeb! The pain isn't that bad!" I lied.
